Verification standards
Verification on VereLocal is designed to make useful evidence easier to understand. Different services carry different risks, so the checks shown on a profile should match the type of business and the work being offered.
We may ask for information that helps confirm who controls the profile, such as owner identity, director details or account ownership evidence.
Where relevant, we may review business structure, company details, trading status, public information, insurance evidence or professional memberships.
Some categories need specific evidence, such as qualifications, certificates, licences, DBS information, portfolio examples or other service-specific documents.
Verification evidence is reviewed for a specific purpose and recorded against the business profile. Sensitive documents are not shown publicly.
Public labels should be specific about what has been checked, such as identity reviewed, insurance checked or qualification reviewed.
Checks can expire, be replaced or be reviewed again if business details change or a concern is raised.
Local customers need a practical way to compare businesses before they get in touch. Verification helps separate self-reported information from evidence VereLocal has reviewed. It also helps businesses show the details that matter for their category without turning every profile into a wall of paperwork.
A verified label does not mean VereLocal guarantees a business, supervises its work, controls its availability or promises a particular outcome. Customers should still read the profile carefully, ask sensible questions and make their own decision before hiring.
If a profile shows a check or business detail that looks wrong, contact VereLocal so it can be reviewed.
